For my sweet Hubs, in celebration of 13 years of (in no particular order):
belly laughing
Friends watching
penny pinching
Jesus trusting
bed hogging
Hamburger-Helper eating
toe-lint cleaning
CFA studying
Rocky-Mountain loving
baby having
Chicago leaving
Hog watching
colic enduring
house hunting
knee doctoring
crazies surviving
furniture ruining
Okie becoming
mini-van driving
NICU praying
company starting
Disney splurging
blog tolerating
dog loving
bike riding

laundry mastering
homework bossing
and so much more...
I'd do every bit of it again, as long as I could do it with you.

DITTO. I am blessed among all men to have you for my bride. Thirteen years is just the beginning.......
(For those of you reading this post other than Shannon, in our home "ditto" is actually a term of endearment shamelessly plagurized from the movie "Ghost". We have use it for years. I'm really not being as flippant as it may seem.)

Congratulations - it's great to see that people can survive the CFA!

Plagiarized. Sorry. Shannon is certainly the grammarian in the family!

What a lovely bride! Happy Anniversary, Shannon and Hubs. We're celebrating a milestone this month, too. DP turns 40 on Thursday . . .aughh.
Lucky 13 for us this year, too. It'll be 14 in Dec.
Posted by: peach | Monday, June 04, 2007 at 02:34 PM
Such a beautiful bride! Happy Anniversary to you both! My hubby and I celebrated our seventh anniversary yesterday. The hostess who seated us at our celebratory dinner was stunned we'd been married so long. "That's just unheard of" she said. Such a sad fact about our society. To many more statistic breaking years =)

We celebrate 22 years on the 29.

Yay! 13 years! I love how you are so sweet to your husband in your blog. It just makes me smile to read about how much you love each other. I'm new to blogging and just started reading yours around the time you guys went away together. You're too cute. Congratulations!

But don't you have to place a dash between each of those nouns/verbs turned adjectives?
;) Happy belated anniversary. And yes, that is a fantastic picture.

Hey, Shannon, just reading through some of your posts. Our anniv. is this Friday - 16 years. You're right behind us.
You'll notice in Paul's book that he's coached soccer for years -- I just saw your "soccer coaching" listed on this post. Do you coach or your hubby?
Happy Anniversary!

What a fabulous list... and what a wonderful year 1994 was for weddings! We celebrated our lucky 13th just a few months ago. Happy anniversary (and many more) to the two of you.
Posted by: Amy | Wednesday, June 06, 2007 at 12:44 AM
HEY! I remember that! We were 15 yesterday. You know what frogs say? "Time's fun when you're havin' flies." Go ahead, tell your kidlets:)
